Debian with Xqt, Running Debian(complete) & Qtopia Options

[adf]

I think maybe winzip is your problem?
Does your z have "tar" ?
Find and install tar (an archive system)
put the tarball on your card
cd to "card"(wherever that is--my sd card is at mnt/card) /debroot --cd /mnt/card/debroot
untar the tarball there
tar -zxpvf "the name of the tarball--zaurus debian big or something"
when its done do: /debroot/INSATLL.d/postinst.sh this will make scripts. Unless you wanted a pristine difficult to manage do it yourself setup?
the .xinitrc should have been installed with xqt. you might want to redo that using force reinstall and force overwrite..

Hope that helped?

In fact, you don't have the file .xinitrc in your home. You must create and edit it.
To create a link in Linux you must write:

ln -s (name of original file/directory with the PATH) (name of linked file/directory with the complete PATH)

Sorry. chaosteo, I made a mistake.
Yes, you should have the file .xinitrc in your home directory once Xqt is installed. Perhaps the problem is that, as you are new in Linux, you only type "ls" to see what you have in a directory. This will not show you the hidden files/directorys. To see everything you must type: " ls -a "

re: xmodmap problems

ok, I did the apt-get upgrade, but still didn't fix my problem.

I even reinstalled the whole xqt, but that didn't help either.

Any more ideas? Is there some way for me to further debug what exactly xmodmap is doing?

thanks,

Dave

[smuelas]

I'm sorry, Dave about your problems with xmodmap.
What you can do is what I did to edit .xmodmaprc. You must run a program that is launched typing " xev ".
Once launched you will see that everytime you type a key there is a message where you can find the number that the computer assigns to that key. This and the actual file .xmodmaprc. should serve you to edit the right file for you.
Cheers,

Hello Smuelas,

I used Vim to edit .xintrc wtih
rxvt //&
//blackbox
i saved it
and then i tried to link xqt and x
but somehow there is no directory called X under my QPalmTop/bin

???

thank you again

[smuelas]

Hi, chaosteo
What you should have is a file with the name " Xqt " in directory /home/QtPalmtop/bin
It is an executable file (in fact, the x-server). Now you must create a linked file to this one with the simple name " X ". So, you must type only once being root:
ln -s /home/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt /home/QtPalmtop/bin/X
and that's all.

hi chaos...
Sorry but this time I cannot help you. It seems that you have a problem with the installation of Xqt. Are you sure that you have employed all the packages needed. Check other sites in this forum, specially those related with xqt installation.

2 things

Chaos.. you are using a standard sharprom install? any way you can secureshell into your z and startx from there? the output might help.. I think a reinstall with all packages listed should do it ..smuealas seems to know what he is talking about.

Has anyone tried -with pocketworkstaion- dropping into tty1 chrooting to debroot and installing xwindows? "apt-get install x-window-system" ..then configuring the debian x-server there?
It would rock if we had debian's x, Klauss' vnc, and xqt as good working options

I used Vim to edit .xintrc wtih
rxvt //&
//blackbox

// is a valid comment marker for C++, but not for a shell script. You want to use # instead. It may not be the cause of your problem, but fixing it won't hurt.

I have been trying to setup Debian in my 6000 and have some problems. I used tar instead gnu-tar in my linux box and untar to cf card.
1. There is no icewm in my /usr/bin. I tried both zaurus-debian-base-v0.17.tgz and zaurus-debian-big-v0.17.tgz. After untar, there is no icewm.
2. If I comment blackbox, then I can not start X. After I saw the big ugly X icon, it quit without error message.
3. After I export DISPLAY=0:0, all keys become capital and I can not type/write char in lower case.
Can anyone help?

[unplug]

Sorry for my oversight. I found icewm in zaurus-debian-big, but not in zaurus-debian-base.

[unplug]

One more thing, I followed instruction in other posts in this forum, now I got "IceWM: Anohter window manager already running, exiting..."
What is the best way to terminate X? When I used "exit", it is still there

[adf]

I've certatinly not seen that. On my setup (a 5600 though) I use a 2 line "script" that does chroot and export DILSPLAY=0:0 ( no big deal there, but it helps me get past some xqt keyboard weirdness) Then in rxvt I do su then icewm and minimize rxvt. when icewm comes up I do whatever I intended. when I log out xqt quits and I am back in qtopia.
Do you have pocketworkstation going in the background ? ( I don't know if it makes a diff even- It shouldn't) do ps -A and see if icewn or Xvncserver are running and kill 'em before you open XQT. otherwise maybe post how you set things up?
